Police said Williams and another officer were sent to the deli about 8:30 p.m. in response to a reported domestic disturbance.

Retuerto was reportedly angry with his fiance, who worked in there, and "took it out on the food," taking items that were being cooked and throwing them around, Sgt. Larry Frinton said.

Retuerto was gone by the time police arrived, Frinton said, but they found him later at a bar on White Street. When they attempted to take him into custody, he fought with the officers and head-butted Williams.

Retuerto was being held on $25,000 bond Monday for an appearance Tuesday morning in state Superior Court in Danbury.

He is charged with assault on a police officer, criminal attempt to assault a police officer, interfering with police, threatening, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
